International manhunt for one of Canada’s most wanted over bodybuilder murder ‘ends at a four-storey block of flats in Luton’
An international manhunt for one of Canada’s most wanted men – suspected of a bodybuilder’s murder – has ended at a four-storey block of flats in Luton.
Adrian Gordon, 24, went on the run after the murder in May, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police warning the public he was ‘armed, violent and dangerous’.
He was suspected of first degree murder in regard to killing champion bodybuilder Jesse Tubbs, 30, who was found shot in a drugs hotspot.
Violent offenders let off if they say sorry
Police are increasingly letting knife and sex offenders escape prosecution if they say sorry, The Telegraph can reveal.
More than 147,000 people accused of offences including sex crimes, violence and weapons possession were handed community resolutions in the year to March, instead of being prosecuted. Such resolutions do not result in a criminal record.
Police guidance says community resolutions should be restricted to low-level crimes, with offenders required to apologise to the victim, accept “responsibility” for their crime and offer some form of recompense.
Toronto man stupidly rents EV without much thought about where to charge it but CBC says your money can solve his problems
Toronto EV driver can’t use closest overnight charging station because of permit restrictions
A Toronto-based Uber driver spends nearly half an hour most days walking back and forth between an on-street electric vehicle (EV) charging station and his home.
John Chen says he could cut that walk down to eight minutes each way if the city allowed him to use a closer charging station in his neighbouring permit parking zone.
He can’t charge his EV at home because he doesn’t have a designated parking spot and relies on street parking.
Despite living on the edge of his own parking zone near Coxwell Avenue and Dundas Street, Chen says the city told him he can’t get a permit for the other zone to use the closer charger overnight.
France has arrested ‘Russia’s military comms chief’
The surprise detention of the Telegram founder Pavel Durov in France has raised concern in Russia about a potential impact on its troops in Ukraine, who have come to rely on the encrypted messaging app for communications on the front line.
Two days after the detention of the Russian tech billionaire Russian war bloggers, who are typically quite open about problems in the Russian army, have immediately rung the alarm about Durov’s incarceration. France has arrested “the comms chief of the Russian armed forces”, one popular joke online went.
Ottawa needs to abolish the temporary foreign worker program
Canadians are understandably confused by the state of our international migration programs.
The two main pathways by which people are admitted to Canada to work are as economic immigrants (who can stay permanently) and temporary foreign workers. And the public discourse on the two pathways has been contradictory.
Will Israel declare full-scale war on Hezbollah?
Early yesterday morning, Hezbollah fired a barrage of rockets and mortars from Southern Lebanon towards Israeli military positions along the border between the two countries. The group cited the strikes as revenge for the Israel Defence Force’s assassination of Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr last month.
Hezbollah claims it managed to fire 320 rockets and drones at Israel. The IDF asserts that the number is far lower, and responded almost immediately with artillery strikes targeting the launch sites in Lebanon and specific Hezbollah observation posts near the border.
CCP’s Harassment and Intimidation of Canadians a ‘Serious Problem’: Think Tank Study
Canada has a “serious problem” when it comes to foreign interference by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), according to a new study that investigated the regime’s harassment and intimidation of Chinese-Canadians on Canadian soil.
The research, based on a survey conducted by think tank SecondStreet.org, highlighted that most respondents believed they were targeted for their beliefs—specifically, whether they practised the Falun Gong spiritual faith or Christianity, expressed support for Hong Kong, or simply spoke out in favour of democracy.
Regina rejection gives comedian Rob Schneider new material
A U.S. comedian forced to end his show early in Regina by a diversity advocate has promised a “Banned in Canada Comedy Special” soon as an “American middle finger” to the “cold weather dictator” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The Harris Campaign’s Cheap New Debate Gambit Reveals Its Fears
In Harris’s desperate effort not to answer any questions, her best bet is to tempt Trump with a mic that’s always hot.
‘Debates don’t matter,” goes the old wisdom, “until they do.” Politico offers but one example of that truism, in advance of the first 2020 debate. And note the qualifier employed: “Debates don’t matter . . . unless someone faceplants.” Of course, back then, the first debate may well have mattered significantly: Donald Trump didn’t exactly faceplant, but — because he was suffering from an as-yet-undisclosed bout of Covid himself, one that put Chris Christie, his unlucky debate-prep partner, in the hospital and nearly in his grave — gave a disastrously interrupting, impatient performance that night.
It’s Jaw-Dropping How Much Sex Ed Has Changed In 50 Years
Sex education was simpler when I was a girl. There were only two sexes back then, and the word gender had not yet leaped from the declension of nouns to an identity.
Sr. Edmund Marie, the biology teacher in the girls’ department of our parish high school, visited the grammar school every year. She spent a day talking to us about plant biology and brought a black portfolio of oversized botanical posters. One was a standard line drawing for classroom use, the rudimentary kind that appears in countless textbooks.
The results are in: How much will wind energy cost this one state’s consumers?
On Friday, The Wall Street Journal published an article by Gordon Hughes that (somewhat rhetorically) asked this titular question: “Why Is New York Paying So Much for Wind Power?”
Hughes called the reader’s attention to the revelation that the state of New York had entered into a contract with two wind energy companies, an agreement that will quadruple the cost of energy for the consumer—and that’s including three billion in taxpayer dollars to offset the final price per megawatt-hour—which is “far above the break-even cost of generating electricity.”
We need more anger about Islamist terrorism, not less
After Solingen, it’s time for a fightback against both the Islamo-fascists and our complacent elites.
The wisdom of the late Norm Macdonald has rarely felt so prescient. ‘What terrifies me’, the Canadian comic once tweeted, ‘is if ISIS were to detonate a nuclear device and kill 50million Americans. Imagine the backlash against peaceful Muslims.’ It was a perfectly aimed jab at those who fear the public reaction to terrorism more than terrorism itself. At those leftish talking heads and phoney liberals who see people in Manchester, Paris or Brussels being blown limb from limb by radical Islamists and instantly think: ‘Oh no, the Islamophobia is going to be terrible.’ These cowards and fainthearts have been out in force once more following the ISIS knife atrocity in Solingen.
A Foundation Has Been Bribing Cities to Free Criminals
Something interesting is going on in San Francisco where DA Brooke Jenkins, a black woman who ousted the former pro-crime Chesa Boudin and promised to actually enforce the law, is taking on the MacArthur Foundation.
While we often call pro-crime DAs “Soros DAs” and indeed the Nazi collaborating radical billionaire did indeed play a major role in building a pro-crime network of DAs who ignore the law, there are a variety of major foundations who destroyed public safety in America.
Sharia is taking over France
The country of secularism, of the Enlightenment, of Voltaire and of equality is becoming a little more compatible with sharia every day.
In France, sharia is taking over and the bienpensants don’t care
After months of pressure and the latest altercation in his bakery in Vénissieux (Lyon), Alexandre Dallery announced on Friday that the boulangerie would stop selling pork products.
Le Parisien tells us that one of Dallery’s sales assistants directed two customers towards a bacon quiche. Several minutes later, the two men returned “furiously” and “violently” to the boulangerie after discovering the presence of pork in their meal. To avoid further mistakes, the owner of the bakery therefore decided to continue his business without the ham. In a comment posted on Facebook, Dallery spoke of “several pressures over several months to make it halal”. “They wanted to burn everything, break everything”, Dallery wrote. “To calm things down, we no longer sell ham. Otherwise they’ll burn everything”.
